मैंने इंसान बदलते देखा है


मौसमो को बदलते देखा है,
धूप से छाँव , छाँव से धूप होते देखा है,
सूरज की पहली किरण से लेकर,
चाँद की चांदनी तक, अँधेरा होते देखा है।
बदलना फितरत है इनकी,
कभी न खुद को ग़म करते देखा है॥

लेकिन जब देखा, इंसान को बदलते हुए,
तब अपनी आँखों से आंसू को गिरते देखा है।

वक़्त बदलते देखा है,
औदे, हुकूमत, सियासत और पोशाख बदलते देखा है,
और मैंने, नज़रे, फितरत और इंसान को भी बदलते देखा है॥

जो कहते थे अपने है, उनको भी बदलते देखा है, और जो न थे कभी मेरे,
मैंने उनको भी बदलते देखा है, मैंने इंसान बदलते देखा है॥

  4. Hi Nida,

    Nice one :)

    Btw, I was trying to contact you on Facebook, but as I am not a friend, my message will not be delivered to your main inbox. Can you please check the "Others" folder in your Facebook messages?

    2. Hi again. I still don't see a "read" receipt on that message of mine. It's fine if you don't reply, but I'd appreciate it if you take the time to read that. Though the message I've sent you is pretty long, I have even included a TL;DR version.

    3. I m sorry Gaurav, but I havnt received any message from you on Facebook. Please try resending it. :)

    4. Umm, resending it will send the message to the "Others" folder, just like last time. If on PC, click the messages icon (the one next to the friend requests icon) and select the "other" option (next to the inbox option, which is selected by default). If on mobile, go to fb/messages and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the "View other messages" option.

      Sorry if the message comes out to be less critical than the efforts it take you to reach and go through it. :P

    5. If I recognize you from your photos correctly, you are (or were, if the show isn't live) present at the Kavi Sammellan on ABP News, right? The show is good btw (your expressions are better).

  5. अाज की सच्चाई को व्यक्त करती है यह कविता ! यद्यपि व्याकरण सम्बंधी कुछ त्रुटियाँ हैं - परन्तु भावनाओं की अभिव्यक्ति ज्यादा महत्वपूर्ण है ।
